Serniotti himself is cited with "Rumours, i have signed nothing" . But truth is, that he asked the club for a new contract already a couple of weeks ago but Berlin's manager refused early extension, saying that negotiations will take place after the season. So it is easy to guess that they don't want to keep him at every price.

It is worth to mention, that despite the successes, it wasn't always a love affair between Serniotti, the management and the old Lebedew guard (Kromm, Carroll, Kühner etc) But they got their act together which speaks of good professionalism of all parties involved.

Imho, the problem with Serniotti is that, by his personality, he is not really a front runner but a rather shy person. Also his pretty bad english doesn't really help with communication. So for me, going to a club, where he can work a bit more in the background doesn't sound that massively stupid......
